 Posted: Sun Mar 13, 2005 7:07 am Post subject: Need some help with configuring slmodemd |
 |
|
I have a AC'97 Modem, which works with the use of snd_intel8x0m module and the slmodem program.
The daemon slmodem is executed with the option
| Code: |
slmodemd --alsa=hw:0 /dev/slamr0
|
The problem is that hw:0 is the sound card, which is also an AC'97 and I am loading the snd_intel8x0 module.
If the soundcard works then modem does not work and vice versa.
How can make both cards work at the same time? In other words how can I have hw:0 and hw:1 ?
Here is what I have in /etc/modules.d/alsa
| Code: |
# Alsa 0.9.X kernel modules' configuration file.
# $Header: /home/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/media-sound/alsa-utils/files/alsa-modules.conf-rc,v 1.1 2003/08/05 21:07:55 johnm Exp $
# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
##
## IMPORTANT:
## You need to customise this section for your specific sound card(s)
## and then run `update-modules' command.
## Read alsa-driver's INSTALL file in /usr/share/doc for more info.
##

This is probably way out there, but have you tried assigning them both to sound-slot-0? Might work if the drivers don't conflict. I'll see if I can pull anything up on Google.

I think that I should configure ALSA like I have two soundcards. I will try what you suggested, what I did was to simple uncomment what I found in the file
What bothers me is that
gives information only about the soundcard. It is like the intel8x0m module does not do anything. I am wondering if it works when I set
| Code: |
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
alias snd-card-1 snd-intel8x0
|
or if instead of snd-intel8x0 I use snd-intel8x0m |

Unfortunately I have not been able to find anything related to this problem. Are you sure loading the module doesn't just create a device node in the /dev directory for your modem?

I have several ttyS* devices, but I can not tell which one is for the modem. When I run the command with slmodemd I see the ttySL0 device.
Still, dmesg should spit out a line about the modem, but nothing....
A friend of mine told me about the alsaconfig file. Maybe that can help me... if I manage to find which program I need to emerge. |

If you load the module and the kernel doesn't give a response (i.e. dmesg output) then there's something wrong with the module. Either it's not the right one for the device or something else is configured wrong.

Dmix is nothing more than an output plugin for alsa. It shouldn't have anything to do with your modem. But give it a try, maybe it'll free up something.

There is something that I do not understand
If I run
| Code: |
slmodemd --alsa=hw:0 /dev/slamr
|
I get a message about a Smartlink soft modem and then the symbolic link is created and the /dev/ttySL0 device is created
If a load the module slamr, dmesg gives
| Code: |
slamr: Smartlink AMRM0 modem
|
something that indicates that the modem was found.
Still, when I run
| Code: |
slmodemd /dev/slarm0
|
I get the error message about not being able to open the device /dev/slarm0, because this device doen not exist.
Interestingly, however,
| Code: |
ls -l /dev/slamr*
crw------- 1 root root 212, 0 slarm0
crw------- 1 root root 212, 1 slarm1
crw------- 1 root root 212, 2 slarm2
crw------- 1 root root 212, 3 slarm3
|
Why can't I use slamr? device, when it is there? |

To start slmodem I use this line, haven't figured out the conf.d to have those entered like in command line... BTW if you find such information tell me, I'm experimenting right now.
| Code: | | slmodemd -a --country=ITALY --alsa hw:1 |

Darknight,
Thanks for the info, but it did not work. Again I have to use hw:0 which means that if the modem works the sound card won't work. If you run dmesg, do you see anything regarding the snd-intel8x0m module, because I do not?
Regarding your problem, edit the /etc/conf.d/slmodem file accordingly. Namely, uncomment the lines that are about the module and the HW_SLOT and then run rc-update add slmodem |

I found the right config, even if I have a strange behaviour when I lauch wvdial...
Sometimes it connects on first try but more often I need anywhere between 1-10 tries and NO DIALTONE messages. No real reason from my point of view.
Anyway this is my dmesg, however it seems that having the modem running causes some errors so I can't guarantee that the (missing) intel8x0m info is ok.
| Code: |
dmesg | grep 8x
intel8x0_measure_ac97_clock: measured 49478 usecs
intel8x0: clocking to 48000
